NAVI - 10 years without trophies, Team Liquid became BLAST Slam VI champions
Team Liquid became the champions of Blast Slam VI, defeating Natus Vincere 3-1 in the grand final. For first place, Team Liquid received 400 thousand dollars. Natus Vincere earned 200 thousand dollars.
Team Liquid played much better on all maps. Even on the lost second map, the Liquids had good chances, but due to the early loss of three lanes, Natus Vincere were constantly besieging the Team Liquid base. It is worth noting that Natus Vincere have not become champions of tier-1 tournaments for 10 years. The last championship title for the "Born to Win" squad was StarLadder i-League Invitational Season 2, which took place in July 2016. Back then, the legendary Dendi was still playing for Natus Vincere.
The best player of the tournament according to DLTV.ORG was miCKe, who performed excellently in every match.
Other players of Team Liquid also set tournament records. In the group stage match against Natus Vincere, Nisha on Storm Spirit dealt the most damage – 116.635, and tOfu on Dazzle restored the most health – 44318.
The playoffs of Blast Slam VI took place from February 13 to 15 in Malta with a prize pool of 1 million dollars.
